The next time you see Sunny, former midday host at WQHT (97.1 FM), she'll be cooking dinner.
She's joining Emeril Lagasse Sunday night at 8 on the Food Network as part of a special program, "Hungry for Hip Hop."
Look for hot wings, a New York cosmopolitan and a performance by Remy Martin, among other things.
"I was nervous at first, but cooking with Emeril was a lot of fun," says Sunny - so much that she's also shot a pilot for a new food show with him and is waiting to hear how it plays with a focus group.
"Doing television is all new to me," she says. "We'll see where it goes."
She still loves radio, she adds, and she's also weighing a couple of offers in that field.
"I had a great time at Hot-97," she says. "I'd love it if there were a way I could stay around here."
RECORD TIME: WFMU (91.1 FM), one of the last defiantly free-form stations, is always short on cash, partly because it doesn't take corporate or foundation money.
It also recently asked its listeners to send some money somewhere else - to WWOZ, the heritage station in New Orleans that was knocked off the air by Hurricane Katrina.
But WFMU still needs operating cash of its own, and it raises a lot of that through its annual Record & CD Fair, which will be held tomorrow-Sunday at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St.
More than 200 dealers will be there, and for music or memorabilia that's hard to find, this is the place to go.
There's also live music and live radio. Hours are tomorrow from 7-10 p.m., then Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Admission is $5.
RUNAWAY: WCBS-AM (880) has been the radio station of record for the New York City Marathon and that should continue this Sunday. Reporter Sean Adams is running in the race and a WCBS-AM team will be following all the action.
